For Rich, Street-Style Chana At Home

Orika Chana Masala delivers the tart, tangy, and spiced flavour that defines a well-made chana preparation. The essential chana masala ingredients used in this blend, include souring elements like amchur, anardana, and tamarind, balanced with warming whole spices.

The result is a bold and aromatic chana masala powder that creates depth, tang, and complexity, perfect for everything from everyday meals to rich, street-style chole masala gravy. Whether you're making a comforting chickpea masala curry or a classic kabuli chana masala, this blend delivers a consistent, well-rounded flavour.

Use It In

• Punjabi Chole, used both in soaking and cooking
• Chole Bhature where a robust chole masala is required for that street-style taste
• Chole Puri where a tangy, spiced base is essential
• Dry or semi-dry preparations like dry chole masala or masaledar chana

How To Use It

Soak chickpeas overnight in water with one teaspoon of Orika Chana Masala. This enhances flavour from the start, much like a traditional chana masala spice mix.

Sauté cumin seeds, onions, green chillies, and ginger-garlic paste until golden brown. Add chopped tomatoes, red chilli powder, coriander powder, and salt, and cook for five minutes. Add the soaked chickpeas along with the soaking water, then stir in two teaspoons of Orika Chana Masala.

Close the lid and pressure cook on high flame for three to four whistles until the gravy thickens. The masala is used at two stages, during soaking and in the gravy, ensuring a deeper, more layered flavour.
